Residents' Association

We are owned and managed by the local community.
We aim to achieve the sustainable regeneration of a community or address a range of economic, social, environmental and cultural issues within a community.
We are independent but seek to work in partnership with other private, public and third sector organisations.
We aim to reduce dependency on grant support by generating income through enterprise and the ownership of assets. All trading surpluses are principally reinvested in the organisation or the community.

Edinburgh Tenants Federation (ETF) is the umbrella organisation for local tenants and residents groups around the city of Edinburgh.
We welcome all.
Our network of local tenants and residents groups are run by local people in communities to affect change in their areas.
ETF brings people together in the city to represent and influence mainly housing issues as well at topics that affect all of us.
We are run by tenants for tenants.
Our staff provide information, advice and development support to tenants' groups. we run training sessions on committee skills and other topics.

The Centre's Mission Statement is “To develop a centre that will be a hub for the community, run by the community. The centre is for both residents of Dumbiedykes and the wider community and aims to be a warm, friendly and accessible place to meet, share, learn and have fun.”
